It will reliably, precisely, and most of all quickly guide customer through the design of components, the solution of a technical problem, or a calculation of an engineering point without any significant need for expert knowledge. MITCalc contains both design and check calculations of many common tasks, such as: tooth, belt, and chain gear, beam, shaft, springs, bolt connection, shaft connection and many others. There are also many material, comparison, and decision tables, including a system for the administration of resolved tasks. The calculations support both Imperial and Metric units and are processed according to ANSI, ISO, DIN, BS, CSN and Japanese standards. It is an open system designed in Microsoft Excel which allows not only easy user-defined modifications and user extensions without any programming skills, but also mutual interconnection of the calculations, which is unique in the development of tailor-made complex calculations. The sophisticated interaction with many 2D (AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, IntelliCAD, Ashlar Graphite, TurboCAD) and 3D (Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, Solidedge) CAD systems allows the relevant drawing to be developed or 3D models to be inserted in a few seconds. OEM licensing of selected calculations or the complete product is available as well. MITCalc installation packages are available at www.mitcalc.com and after installation customer have 30 days to freely test the product. CAD support 2D CAD systems: Most of the calculations allow direct output to major 2D CAD systems. Just choose your CAD system in the calculation and select the desired view (a projection type).

    CES469694 Developing an Execution Plan for Scan to BIM Raghavendra Bhat Stantec Joseph Huang Stantec Learning Objectives • Discover requirements for a Scan-to-BIM job • Learn how to define and set standards for level of accuracy and level of development • Learn how to save time in handling and modeling from large-size point clouds • Learn about QC workflows using Revit templates, Navisworks, and Virtual Reality Description The quality of a Scan to BIM (Building Information Modeling) model can vary, depending on the surveyor, instrument used, field conditions, especially on the requirements specified. There are, however, no industry standards templates available to follow. This class will focus on the essentials for developing a Scan to BIM execution plan. Starting form providing & clarifying scope of work to define LOD requirements shall be discussed. There are a lot of potential risks that need to be identified and highlighted when picking up a Scan to BIM job. We will discuss some of these cases with project examples. Basic tools like Revit, ReCap, Navisworks available can help us through this process of visualizing model mistakes and getting a quality product. We will learn several tips that can assist us while facing the quality control of a model replicated from a point cloud. Those tips will also help us locate where the focus should go in each case. The goal of this class is, therefore, not only to learn the available tools, but also to analyze the current gaps in setting up Scan to BIM project execution plan. The agenda we will

Data Sharing Implementation Based on the Information Modelfor Apparel Pattern Making Y. Tina Lee Manufacturing Systems Integration Division National Institute of Standards and Technology Gaithersburg, MD 20899-0001 ABSTRACT A standard neutral file format for facilitating apparel pattern data sharing among dissimilar CAD/ CAM systems has been long awaited by the apparel industry. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has taken the approach to use the Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data (STEP) methodology to develop an information model for the exchange of two- dimensional flat patterns. STEP, being developed in the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), provides a representation of product information along with the necessary mechanisms and definitions to enable product data to be exchanged amongst different computer systems and environments.

Artur talks with Digital Art Live about his love of the ocean, his philosophy of beauty, and the techniques he uses to make his pictures. Picture: “The Sentinels” 12 ARTUR ROSA PORTUGAL VUE | PHOTOSHOP | POSER | ZBRUSH WEB DAL: Artur, welcome back to Digital Art Live magazine. We last interviewed you in our special #50 issue of the old 3D Art Direct magazine. That was back in early 2015, when we mainly focussed on your architectural series “White- Orange World” and your forest pictures. In this ‘Future Oceans’ themed issue of Digital Art Live we’d like to focus on some of your many ocean colony pictures and your recent sea view and sea -cave pictures. Which are superb, by the way! Some of the very best Vue work I’ve seen. Your recent work of the last six months is outstanding, even more so that the work you made in the early and mid 2010s. You must be very pleased at the level of achievement that you can now reach by using Vue and Photoshop? AR: Thank you for having me again, and thank you for the compliment and feedback. I’m humbled and honoured that my work may be of interest for your readers. To be honest, I’m never quite sure if my work is getting better or worse.
